This blog is a collection of personal ramblings, comments and observations gathered first while traveling around the country for The North West Company and now during my retirement years on Manitoulin Island as an Independent Associate with Watkins. Feel free to comment, I thank you for stopping by and hope to hear from you soon!Murray Dewinghttps://plus.google.com/106259272433835060517noreply@blogger.comBlogger306125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188886.post-63888304548457519832014-04-15T23:54:00.004-04:002014-04-16T12:09:03.761-04:00Wasn't it Just Yesterday?
It's strange... I didn't think it would
affect me at all considering I moved away from the family home 40
years ago, but... I found myself laying awake last night walking from
room to room and about the yard of the house that was sold yesterday
and now belongs to a stranger.
I paused at each doorway, looking
around (all in my mind of course) remembering events or views

End of an era... The house in HUNTINGVILLE (Not Sherbrooke) has been sold. Built nail by nail by my Father and Grandfather in 1955 it has now passed on to a young family moving up from Toronto. My Dad can now spend his time playing golf, fishing, sugaring, hunting and all the other fun things he has earned and enjoys.
